OUR HOLIDAY EDITION.


TIE LIGHT without any flourish of
trumpets is making good progress with
Its Annual Holiday edition. Ils patrons
will find 1t, as usual, superior to its com
petitors and geographically the most
presentsble Holiday edition ever Issue d
from this Office. This will place it ahead
OF anything heretofore issued in the
state. The object of this annual write
up Of San Antonio and its business is to
present the city in its true condition
and character, so that knowledge OF
what IL is, and what, under the impetus
OF present and prospective enterprises,
1t is destined to become may be gained
by Its $4,000 readers. The regular
patrons of the LIGHT are too well gc-
qusinted with the advantages which
its annual Holiday edition offers
as an advertising medium not
to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity thus presented for
spreading knowledge of their business
broadcast over the entire south and
west. Those who do not know thus,
having never experienced these benefits,
are assured that they will find this Holt
day edition not only complete
storehouse OF information concerning
the city ltself,and very general direo-
tory Of it's best business, but also such an
advertising channel for them as
they have not had opened. The Immense
outlay ofsuch an edition can only be
met even In part by most generous ad-
vertising. The aid which was expected
from the publication branch OF the Citi-
Zens' committee having failed. the LIGHT
proposes to carry ont al It's own unaidad
expense the work contemplated through
operation with the Citizens com
mittee. The encouragement SO far
received has been: most gratifying,
showing that the work of the LIGHT 10
the past has been appreciated an d that
It's Holiday editions are becoming a rec
ogniZed institutions. The Holiday edi-
tion will be issued about the midd lie Of
the month and all orders by telephone
will be promptly responded to.

THE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

In the last meeting of this association
gev down little nearer the foundation
OF things and practically face the diff
oulties. The association is handicapped
from the beginning for lack of funds
or the amount subscribed, small as it
was, not even the first ten per cent To-
stalment has been paid. This leaves
the association com paratively pOwerless
to push their work OF present
ing the advantages OF this city on
paper, and making known the really
inviting nature of this region for set
Element, Investment and residence.
during at least nine months of the year.
For every thousand dollars raised by
such cities as Los Angeles, San Diego
and Jan Jose, Cal, no one of them
having San Antonio's assesssbIe value,
this city has not raised ten dollars. The
capital, business and real estate of this
city cannot expect to draw visitors from
California cities upon an expenditure
Of one per cent Of the amounts spent by
cities OF their class in California for ad-
vertising. Money must be forthcoming.
There is q grave difference OF opinion
among members Of the committee az to
the wisdom Of the course pursued In
spending money for mere folders, and
dodgers and pamphlets. 1t would seem
that the inexperienoe of the publication
committee might have taken counsel
from the methods proposed, carried out
and approved in most abundant success,
In Louisiana, Kansas. Minnesota, Ala
bams, Georgia and California. These
states, In the localities which have had
unusual gains in population and large
accessions OF business capital and
spirited real estate movements, have in
Variably made the local newspapers the
medium Of their communications to the
great world outside. What has worked
so successfully everywhere else would
not work unsuceessfully In San Antonio,

A new trick in ledgerdemsln in New
York is thus described: To tape
stretched across the stage is suspended
an empty box of the style used to hold a
suit of clothes. On the paper bottom
the magician draws the outlir OF silk
worm. AS he talks the Transformation
takes place, and the cocoon bursts
through the paper and swings from the
tape. Ii is of red silk, and as big IS a
good. sized toy balloon. From this I'M
folds a lovely face; then the bust, and the
woman is complete. The stage is not
darkened and no suspicious looking fur
niture is seen.

Ii is fair TO presume, and yet that method
Is discarded for one which can at best
only advertise the poverty OF our adj
vertising resources and the seven by
nine character Of our undertaking. This
way Of doing business will not
help San Antonio, and OF
this fact the committee has
been fully advised Captain Iaokey at
the last meeting again voiced this senti-
ment, but IL WAS passed unhaed d. The
committee feel themselves handicapped
for lack Of fund.-. Funds will be
lacking, unit! a more generou' open
handed, large minded view Of things is
taken. II not forthcoming under proper
circumstances, the committee should
have dropped the whole matter sooner
than to have attempted to stir caul-
drOn with teaspoon. This
city has been In no sense
canvassed for funds for ad-
vertising purposes. The subscription
lists set forth very vaguly the objects to
be attained, and citizens are today in
doubt as to what the fund is to be ex-
pended for. The meeting held some
time since appointed a committee on
manufacturing. To that committee was
entrusted the work OF formulating some
plan and presenting IL. There the mat
ter ends. The meeting Of the Nation
al Press association, which Ia to meet in
this city next yesr, Is looked forward TO
as an agency which will spread very
broadly over the country the knowledge
yantsges possessed BY this city and the
vicinity. 1t will not very naturally
cOnduce to an exalted idea Of the enter
prize and intelligent direction OF mat
tiers in San Antonio for that Press Asso-
citation to discover that San Antonio In
provement association has given the
press the cold shoulder in advertising
the city, and trusting to the generosity
at home, has forecast its generosity all
over the country 10 give San
Antonio = gratuitOus adVertis-
ing. San Antonio journalists
may not possess the ability to do the
work required by the committee. or
this let the committee judge. There are
other journals. The committee have a
subscription Of about 5000. or this the
one-thrd is for advertising purposes.
Let this amount be placed in New York
and st. Louis and some advertising
done that will be OF use to the city. The
press is the only means of advertising
San Antonio properly. If not through
the home press, let the work be done
through the metropolitan press and re-
suits will follow, not otherwise.

Many persons are troubled with a chronic

waited by Il resort to drastic puTgatives and
ChOlagOgues. As the human stomach and
bowels are lined with a delicate membrance
and not with vucanitc, they cannot stand
prolonged drenchiug with such medicines
without serious injury. Nothing restores
ami cOunteracts an habitual tendency to con.
situation so elfectualy as HOStetTer's StOm

when the organ is sluggish, promotes diges-
